Chapter 36 Selection
"Heaven Cube" also failed to last ten minutes in the hands of these judges.
They gave up quickly and continued to review subsequent games.
Lilith finally couldn't hold herself any longer. She was laughing so hard on the massage chair that she almost spilled her coke.
Obviously, the current state of the game is exactly what she expected!
The negative emotions that fill the screen have proven that her changes have successfully transformed "Spinning Cube", which produces more positive emotions, into a negative emotion-generating machine.
These four judges can be said to be the best in various fields in the game industry. There are professional reviewers, senior designers, anchors, and professional players.
But when they played "Heaven Cube", the negative emotion values they produced were much higher than the positive emotion values.
This is also thanks to the original version of "Spinning Cube". It is precisely because everyone is familiar with the original game that these disgusting changes are like lice on a bald man's head. They are completely obvious and naturally This creates more negative emotional value.
On the official platform, the games participating this time are also being opened for trial play, and "Heaven Cube" is naturally among them.
As more and more players accidentally fall into it, the negative emotions generated by this game continue to grow.
Currently, these games are free to try and will not generate any revenue.
However, after the selection is completed tomorrow night, the games approved by the judges can be officially put on sale at the official price. The price is not high, probably between 1 yuan and 20 yuan. The specific price depends on Ratings given by judges.
But Lilith felt that it was definitely impossible for "Heaven Cube" to be recognized, and naturally there would be no opportunity for paid sales.
This is exactly what she wants.
When the time comes, it will be directly put on the shelves for free, and one can be deceived one by one. Won't this negative emotion continue to arise?
Obviously, mini-games also have advantages!
The more Lilith thought about it, the happier she became. She continued to look at the picture on the projector, looking forward to the subsequent comment session.
……
Soon, the time came to 9pm, and there was only one hour left before tonight’s event ended.
The four judges have basically completed the trial play of these games.
Obviously, the four judges have different preferences and have different amounts of time playing these games. So the next step is a quick review session, where we go through all the games in order and everyone talks about their own opinions.
This will be an important basis for audience voting tonight and tomorrow.
The voting will close tomorrow night, and the final award will naturally be announced.
“Okay, then the judges please give a concentrated review of the participating games and give a specific evaluation of “recommended” or “not recommended”.
“After summarizing the opinions of the four judges, we will label the game as ‘Specially Positive’, ‘Good Review’, ‘Mixed Review’, ‘Bad Review’, and ‘Specially Bad Review’.
“ And this label will be hung on the game on the event page, giving players a basis and reference when voting.
"First is the No. 1 game, "Bubble Cube"."
The host motioned for Judge No. 1 Cheng Anhua to start speaking.
These judges have been trying out these games before and they already know what they want to say. Serious judges like Cheng Anhua even took notes.
So they don't need to organize language, they just speak.
“I think the art style of work No. 1 is still eye-catching. Although there is almost no innovation in the gameplay, Bubble Burst feels very comfortable and relieves stress. As a casual game The game is worth playing, so I give it a "recommendation".
Then the other three judges also spoke in turn.
“I think that since “Bubble Cube” uses “bubbles” as packaging, some unique gameplay should be designed around this packaging, so that the game content can be enriched. It is a pity that the author did not Doing this, as a designer, I think this game does not meet my expectations. It is just that the art effect is not worth playing, so I give "Do not recommend". "
"I personally play this. The game feels very comfortable, and it can be seen that the author has carefully fine-tuned the dynamic details, special effects, and falling speed of the bubbles. I personally appreciate it and "recommend". ”
"'Not recommended'."
The last judge, Jonas, spoke in English, but there was a special translator next to him. It can be seen that Jonas is a relatively taciturn person and is too lazy to say so many words, but the reason why he gave "not recommended" is still easy to guess.
The top professional players of "Spinning Cube" are more or less "fundamentalist", that is, they obviously prefer the original game, while other cube-like games that have been modified will be full of "fundamentalism". Disdainful, instinctively repulsive.
In the eyes of Cheng Anhua and Li Wenhao, "Bubble Cube" changes the appearance of the cubes into cute bubbles, which is a plus point, but for Jonas, this is actually a deduction. .
So it’s not surprising that Jonas gave “not recommended”.
The host did not continue to ask further questions. On the one hand, as a host, he should not guide or interfere with the subjective evaluation of the judges. On the other hand, it was also because the time of the event was tight. For a game that was not too controversial, , there is no need to dwell on it for a long time.
"Okay, so the final evaluation given by the four judges to the No. 1 entry "Bubble Cube" is "mixed praise". Obviously this game is a bit "challenging", players in front of the screen You can try it out for yourself before making a final decision.
"Okay, let the judges continue to comment on entry No. 2..."
Following this process, all entries will be reviewed. Rating in order
This process is very fast, and each game is basically completed in two or three minutes.
There are some games that really don’t have any highlights, and the judges don’t even bother to say more. They just say four “not recommended” and the whole process doesn’t even take a minute.
And Jonas’s taste is even more tricky. Almost all games are given “not recommended” and he doesn’t bother to explain the reasons.
This made the host's expression a little tense, but he didn't say much.
After all, Jonas is currently the number one professional player in "Spinning Cube", and he has the qualification to be willful.
Finally, we came to entry No. 11, "Heaven Cube".
Seeing this familiar scene, the judges who were laughing and joking just now immediately became serious.
Especially Liang Chun and Li Wenhao, their faces could even be clearly darkened, obviously recalling the experience of being fed shit in this game.
Li Wenhao couldn't wait to speak directly: "I directly 'do not recommend'. From a player's perspective, this game gave me a very bad experience, not as good as the original version.
"Maybe my point of view is more Subjective, but that's what I think. ”
Liang Chun coughed twice: "I don't recommend it either."
"The art and special effects of this game are pretty good, but the key problem is that it changes the original gameplay of "Rotating Cube". And these changes are really...hard to describe in a word!
“First of all, this game seems to have deliberately adjusted the appearance probability of long bars, that is, "I"-shaped blocks. The more blocks stacked on the field, the less long bars will appear!
"This is a devastating blow to the gameplay of games like "Spinning Blocks".
“What’s even more outrageous is that “Angel’s Coming”, which is originally a reward mechanism after reaching a certain point, will add garbage cubes to itself. I can only say that this design is simply unbelievable. As a designer, I Totally incomprehensible!
"In short, I think the changes to the game's mechanics can only be described in four words, that is, 'counterproductive'. It completely transforms the original "Spinning Cube" into a purely disgusting garbage game.
“So, I strongly don’t recommend playing it unless you just want to make yourself suffer. "
At this time, the order of the judges' speeches has been disrupted. Cheng Anhua, who originally spoke first, became the third, but it doesn't matter.
Cheng Anhua moved slightly closer to the microphone: " I don't recommend it either. It can only be said that this designer wanted to make some breakthroughs in the classic gameplay of "Rotating Blocks" for some reason and bring fresh feelings to players, but it had the opposite effect.
“I guess that the purpose of deliberately reducing the appearance probability of long bars is to allow players to make more use of other types of blocks. It’s just that the final result deviated greatly from the designer’s ideas.< br>
"As for why the online mode is designed like this...I can't guess it at all."
All three judges gave the option of "not recommended", which means that "Heaven Cube" Evaluation tags can only be generated in "negative reviews" and "tide of negative reviews".
Everyone looked at Jonas.
Obviously, according to Jonas's previous habit, he would probably give "not recommended".
However, what surprised everyone was that Jonas actually said: "Although I haven't fully understood the mechanics of this game, there is no doubt that I will give this game a "special recommendation". ”
